PRAYER REQUEST: AVANZA is this week

AVANZA, IMPACTOnetwork's Church Planter Assessment event, is this weekend!  On Thursday, January 30th, 11 observers will arrive in Querétaro for training and explanation of the process.  The 10 candidates (5 couples) will arrive on Friday afternoon.  The event ends on Monday afternoon.  The weekend will be overflowing with activities and challenges for all the candidates and observers.  

Many of the observers are new this year.  Please pray that the group will have discernment to see beyond the surface level and be united in their recommendations.  

Pray for the candidates as they go through this process.  The days will be long and full of information.  There will be lots of opportunities for them to be stretched.  Pray that God will confirm His calling on their lives.  Pray that this will be an uplifting and encouraging experience for them.  

Pray for the IMPACTOnetwork staff that is organizing the event.  Pray for AVANZA Director, Holly Alvarado as she coordinates lots of moving pieces.  Pray for stamina for all involved. Pray that out of AVANZA, there will be a strong candidate to plant the next church with IMPACTOnetwork.
